Guest guest Posted February 29, 2004 Report Share Posted February 29, 2004 I want to know the meaning of word "Daitya Sudham". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vinayakan Posted February 29, 2004 Report Share Posted February 29, 2004 This is accusative of Daitya sudha, correctly spelled as "daitya-sudhaa". Sudhaa is nectar, another word for "piiyuuSha". Daitya is a demon, a raakShasa. Originally daityas are the sons of "Diti" (DaiteyaH). Diti litterally means: cutting, splitting, dividing. Diti is the daughter of Daksha and wife of Kashyapa. But Daitya means also demon in general. So Daitya-sudha (samaasa of daityaanaam sudhaa) means "the nectar of the demons". See Sanskrit spelling in the attachment.

gokulkr Posted March 1, 2004 Report Share Posted March 1, 2004 So "Daitya Sudham" applies to which God ? (Shiva or Vishnu) Theres a "Daitya Sudham Temple" near "Somanatha" Temple in Saurashtra - Gujarat. So thats why i am asking. I am a sourashtrian. My Community Deity is hypothesized as Deity of "Daitya Sudham Temple". But i am in Tamilnadu now. Only our ancestors lived in Gujarat. So please reply correctly. /images/graemlins/smile.gif OM NAMAH SIVAYA /images/graemlins/smile.gif OM NAMO VENKATESHAYA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
